Prime Minister of Sabia and Verona Shounn Virny formed the second Virny Cabinet following the 2016 general election held in September 2016. The cabinet is officially known as the 8th government. It was the second cabinet to be formed under the 2015 constitution, which created the present Parliament of Sabia and Verona. The cabinet was formed by members of the National Artists' Guild, the Left Alliance and independents, as it was the result of a coalition between the Artists and the Left to form a minority government (short of a majority by a single seat).
It was preceded by the first Virny cabinet, also formed by Virny, who led the Artists' Guild to a supermajority in the 2015 general election.
Background
The 8th ministry was preceded by the first Virny cabinet, which was formed by National Artists' Guild leader Shounn Virny after his party's overwhelming victory in the 2015 general election. The Artists won a supermajority in the newly formed Parliament of Sabia and Verona, with 10 seats over rival party Unity's 3 seats. Thus, Virny formed a cabinet composed of only Artist ministers.[1]
The Artists' supermajority was broken when the Left Alliance abandoned the Treaty of Kotavari shortly after its merger with Bakinn, in May 2016.[2] The Virny government was allowed to govern with a simple majority, but as the 2016 general election approached, it was clear no Guild-led government would rule alone in majority. Polls suggested a Unity majority, or at least a grim outcome for the National Artists' Guild.[3][4]
Following the 2016 general election, the Guild and the Left Alliance formed a centre-left to left-wing coalition to form a minority government. Virny once again took the position of Prime Minister, while Left leader Apollo Cerwyn became Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of Foreign Affairs.[5]
Cabinet formation
Coalition negotiations started shortly after the announcement of the 2016 general election results. Though previous pre-election negotiations had taken place between the Guild and Unity, the Guild chose to negotiate with the Left Alliance following the election.[6][7]
